Two top comedies duking it out....and I have to say that I laughed harder during WEDDING CRASHERS.

I'd have to disagree

Both very funny movies but The 40-Year-Old Virgin just kills me.

Totally disagree, I loved the first 20 minutes of Wedding Crashers but when they got to the island it just bored me. 40-Year-Old version all the way for me

It's a shame that Vince Vaughn was not nominated for a Best Actor Oscar... this is one of the best comedic performances of all time. That said, The 40 Year Old Virgin is a better all around movie.

I think I laughed harder at "Wedding Crashers," but "Virgin" has held up better in repeat viewings for me. Just why this is, I can't say, but it seems to be true.

I've only seen them both once, but I found Crashers funnier overall. Only liked about half of Virgin.

I have an ambivalent relationship with movie comedies, though. I find very few comedies to be consistently funny enough for me to really like them.

Never really laughed hard during wedding crashers. so... that one undoubtedly doesn't win.

The 40 year old Virgin kept the laughs coming till the end and The Wedding Crashers crashed after 2/3 in.

I don't think either ran out of steam and they have both held up on repeated viewings but virgin has better charachters and a more rounded story

Would I rather bone Elizabeth Banks or Rachel McAdams? My penis can't decide.

Ooh...I hear you on that one...

I remember when these films came out...Wilson and Vaughn were the established stars, in the movie with a major promotional campaign, and Steve Carell was "that guy from the Daily Show, right?" (The Office was still pretty new). And 40-Year-Old Virgin just killed it; way funnier, with vastly superior acting talent, actually had a character you cared about, and a solid supporting cast (that at that time, was also pretty much unknown). Now we have a ton of Apatow-inspired spin-offs and co-stars in many funny films (Superbad, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Role Models) while Vaughn and Wilson have gone on to do, what exactly? Oh yeah...Fred Claus and You Me and Dupree.
